Fellow Citizens:
I really buffles educated minds, such as we ourselves, that a big old Super Power of
the world can succumb to Yoweri Museveni's Propaganda and dispatch a bunch high
ranking top US Generals I hear to "go look for solution to a war which his being
luanched by a faceless "General known as KONY".
Me think that the solution to the Northern Uganda war likes with the NRM military
dictatorship. Me believe that it is the NRM killing our citizens in Northern Uganda.
That said, The NRM and the NRM alone holds the key to resloving this Humanitarian
catasptrophy now englufing the whole of Northern and Eastern Uganda.
I believe that, the visit my top US general to northern Uganda will not repeat not
resolve the problem.

A delegation of senior Army officers from the United States is in northern Uganda to
find a solution for the 18-year long conflict perpetuated by the Lords Resistance Army
rebels.
The delegation led by U.S. Gen. Charles Wald, deputy Air force commander of the
European Central Command, met President Yoweri Museveni on Tuesday and is now in the
Gulu.
"The purpose of the General's visit is to further assess the security situation in
northern Uganda and review the impact of the small amount of U.S. military assistance
provided to the UPDF to protect civilians under threat of LRA violence," Mark
Schlachter, the US embassy Public Affairs Officer, said yesterday.
He said "U.S. assistance to the UPDF has resumed (subsequent to its withdrawal from
the Democratic Republic of Congo) and has been limited to a small number of trucks and
related transportation equipment, as well as radio communication equipment."
The value of this assistance is approximately $2 million, Schlachter said.
